Resumo

Interactive artifacts and environments that involve more aspects of life other than work (e.g., social relations, entertainment, art etc.) are gaining more attention within the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) field. This includes interactive art and installations. Do-It-Yourself (DIY) technologies, such as Arduinos with sensors and actuators, are often used in interactive installations. These technologies, however, are often oriented towards hobbyists and engineers. Moreover, easy-to-use commercial kits have a relatively high cost and a lack of flexibility. In this paper, we present Pincello: an affordable electronics kit for prototyping interactive installations. Pincello is not a commercial product, but rather a recommendation of components accompanied by meaningful hands-on documentation. We present and discuss the main components of the kit, including suggestions on how they can be used to allow different forms of interaction. We also present three case studies in which Pincello was used, involving 105 Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) students. Considering how the kit received positive feedback in the three case studies, and how it was successfully used to create 18 installations of varied themes, Pincello has shown to be a promising tool for the design and construction of interactive installations.
